Chapter 457 Snatching Food from a Tiger's Mouth
When the group entered the City of Chaos, it was early morning. The dawn broke, casting the morning light upon the city and adding a touch of life, but it still couldn't conceal its gloomy and oppressive atmosphere.
"Let's go find a place to rest first; the city only comes alive at night."
Lord Han said, leading Yu Changsheng and the other two to find an inn in the city to rest. After a while, dusk gradually fell, the moon slowly rose into the sky, and under the hazy moonlight, the city, which had been quiet during the day, began to come alive.
In the streets and alleys, candlelight began to flicker, and the once quiet streets became crowded with people. Shouts of anger and hawking of goods filled the air, and the bloodshed and killings in the shadows also began.
Chaos City is a dark city that belongs to the night.
At the heart of the city stands a massive arena of carnage, a brightly lit landmark that forms the core of the Chaotic City. Inside, the arena is teeming with excited crowds, filling every corner of the space. The noise is deafening, yet no one dares to cause any trouble.
The reason is simple: the owner of this venue is Chen Wencai, the city lord whom everyone in the City of Chaos reveres.
In reality, there is no real ruler in Chaos City; it is a world of survival of the fittest. The so-called Lord of Chaos City is merely a title given to Chen Wencai because he is the strongest person in the city.
This arena, which is run by Chen Wencai, is only open at night.
"This is the place I'm taking you to, the heart of Chaos City, the Killing Arena. Here, killing happens every moment, in a challenge format, but there are no winners or losers, only life and death."
In a corner of the arena, Lord Han, already disguised, led Yu Changsheng and the other two to point to the numerous battle platforms standing in the vast arena, and calmly explained to them.
"In this world, since one can increase their cultivation speed by absorbing the Dao patterns of others, those cultivators who can honestly cultivate and comprehend Dao patterns on their own are ultimately a minority."
"In this context, in order to maintain relative order, the Killing Arena came into being. Everyone who comes to the Killing Arena does so with the goal of killing their opponent and absorbing their Dao patterns to strengthen themselves. Therefore, every match is extremely bloody and cruel."
"For Yu Changsheng, this is the most suitable place to obtain Dao essence. This arena is blessed with special magic. Anyone who dies here will be automatically decomposed into Dao patterns and belong to the victor who killed him. As long as you are strong enough, you can obtain a massive amount of Dao patterns and Dao essence."
As Han Chengzhu spoke, she exhaled deeply and gave Yu Changsheng a long look. At this moment, her face had changed into that of a middle-aged man, and her voice had become hoarse and deep.
"Does Lord Han mean that I should kill my opponents repeatedly in the competition to obtain Daoist essence?"
Yu Changsheng asked curiously.
"Hehe," City Lord Han chuckled, a hint of interest appearing on her beautiful face, but her tone carried a trace of disdain as she spoke:
"Playing each match one by one is too slow. This city is called Chaos City, so we don't need to play by the rules. What I want is to wipe them all out in one fell swoop."
Lord Han sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over the crowded people in the venue, and said meaningfully.
"Those who can survive in this chaotic city are all ruthless people. Which of these people is not greedy and has many lives on their hands? You don't have much time. If you want to obtain enough Dao essence in this short period of time, then you will need some thunderous methods."
"What do you mean, Lord Han?" Yu Changsheng asked, his gaze sharpening and his brows furrowing.
"I know you don't want to kill people without a reason, even if they are beings in this Enlightenment Realm. In reality, they can't be considered true beings."
City Lord Han glanced at Yu Changsheng and said softly, "I'll use you as bait. Let's see how many people harbor ill intentions towards you. Those who do will die as nourishment for your Dao."
As Lord Han spoke, a meaningful sneer appeared on his face.
"Your original Dao patterns are the best bait for these people. They have no resistance to your original Dao patterns."
Lord Han laughed, his eyes gleaming:
"What I need you to do is to fully display your Dao patterns! Don't worry, with me here, your safety will be guaranteed. In the entire Chaotic City, apart from the City Lord of Chaotic City, the strongest person is only at the fifth level of Dao patterns. In the past month, I have also made some breakthroughs, so ensuring your safety should not be a problem."
"This move was out of necessity. Although it's an unconventional approach, there was no other way that was more suitable."
Yu Changsheng's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated, looking at City Lord Han with a complex expression, and after a long while, he let out a soft breath: "City Lord Han, do you mean to... massacre the city? To use the lives of the city's inhabitants to condense Dao patterns..."
"A massacre?" City Lord Han glanced at Yu Changsheng in surprise, then said calmly, "Not quite, but close. There's something I didn't tell you. Did you notice the flags flying on the city walls when we entered?"
Yu Changsheng thought for a moment and nodded.
Lord Han's expression returned to calm, and he said indifferently:
"Alright, you must have sensed it along the way. Chaotic City is indeed strange. I can tell you that you can only enter this city, not leave it. The entire city is actually Chen Wencai's dojo."
"And these people, you could say, are Chen Wencai's food. Chen Wencai should have been completely refined under the rules of this Enlightenment Realm long ago, forgetting his past and present lives and losing himself."
"However, he is ultimately a disciple of the Holy Land, and some of his methods are so strange that even I can't quite understand them, but he can see through this Chaotic City clearly."
The entire Chaotic City is Chen Wencai's training ground. Unlike my Han City, Chaotic City only appears periodically, using the desire of these people to take the shortcut of devouring others' Dao patterns to attract beings from this realm. Once inside the city, without his permission, they can never leave. Eventually, when the time is right, Chen Wencai will devour and refine all of them into part of his own Dao patterns. At the same time, he uses this to resist the erosion of the Enlightenment Realm's rules, preserving himself to this day.
Han City Lord's words stirred a few ripples in Yu Changsheng's heart, and his eyes changed slightly as he looked at Han City Lord.
"Therefore, from the moment we stepped into the City of Chaos, we have already become part of Chen Wencai's prey. So, we are merely snatching food from the tiger's mouth. Everything in this world is nothing more than Dao patterns, so why should we feel such pressure?"
"Han City Lord said softly, then looked intently at Yu Changsheng."
Yu Changsheng remained silent for a long time, then shook his head, sighed softly, and finally nodded.
"Fine, I wasn't exactly a good person to begin with..."
Yu Changsheng murmured to himself, he didn't believe everything the city lord Han said, but he believed most of it.
Without further hesitation, Yu Changsheng slowly closed his eyes, exhaled deeply, and focused his mind on the Heavenly Dao Golden Core, where four primordial Dao patterns emitted a profound aura…
Boom!!
Yu Changsheng's eyes suddenly snapped open, a glint of light flashed, and an invisible aura shot straight into the sky. The Heavenly Dao Golden Core spun, and the four primordial Dao patterns shone, projecting four illusory Dao pattern shadows that refracted in the void above Yu Changsheng's head. Amidst the radiant light, Yu Changsheng's figure appeared as if he were an immortal!
Crimson red like fire, azure blue like water, emerald green like wood, golden yellow like gold!
In an instant, various strange phenomena filled the entire arena: flames slowly burned, a vast sea surged into the sky, and a forest of trees stood tall, piercing the clouds. A peerless golden light shone forth… Four primordial Dao patterns, unrestrainedly radiating a violent aura, were mysterious and complex, captivating all who beheld them, revealing an ancient and domineering presence. As the ripples spread, the entire killing arena fell silent for a moment, only to erupt into a deafening roar!
"This is?!!!"
"Primordial Dao patterns?! This aura!"
"If it could devour the primordial Dao patterns, then..."
Gasps of breath rose and fell as countless gazes turned toward Changsheng. Shock echoed throughout the arena, and among those gazes were shock, disbelief, anger, and above all, greed.
Lord Han is right. The original Dao patterns are so attractive to them that they almost lost their minds for a moment.
For them, this was a primal yearning, a pursuit of a higher existence. In an instant, the entire arena trembled, countless gazes fixed on Changsheng, their eyes brimming with desire. Their gazes were filled with a cruel, almost manic intensity.
"Buzzing!!"
The four primordial Dao patterns vibrated, and an invisible wave swept through the entire venue, striking everyone's hearts and causing them to tremble. This made the beings of the Enlightenment Realm feel uneasy, but in an instant, their greedy nature once again overwhelmed everything.
Rumble!
The crowd went mad, and in an instant, countless people rushed towards Yu Changsheng. The light of Taoist magic and supernatural powers covered the area, the wind and sand swirled, disturbing the void, flames raged, burning everything, and the light of swords and blades covered the area. The power of destruction permeated the air at this moment.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
"The original Dao patterns are mine!!"
With a low growl and bloodshot eyes, the crowd rushed towards Yu Changsheng, each attack aimed at a fatal blow, showing no mercy. Their killing intent was palpable at that moment.
In an instant, the entire city was at odds with the enemy.
"The fish has taken the bait, hasn't it? They made the move on their own, so we have no problem retaliating."
Upon seeing this, Lord Han suddenly smiled and said, his eyes fixed intently on the approaching crowd. He made a fist with his fingers, and a large bow made of animal hide appeared in his hand. With a pull, the bow was drawn to its fullest extent, and an arrow condensed and shot through the air towards the crowd!
"Swish swish!!"
The arrows pierced the air, splitting into ten, then a hundred, shooting densely towards the crowd.
"Pfft pfft pfft..."
Blood blossomed at this moment, the slaughter could not be stopped, and the stench of blood permeated the entire space. In an instant, some people died, but it also ignited the bloodlust of more people. So, with roars, they frantically attacked Yu Changsheng and City Lord Han.
Rumble!
Various supernatural powers were unleashed, and the power of various Dao patterns flickered. Floods swept across, thunder roared, celestial swords soared into the sky, and earth and trees formed peaks... Various methods emerged one after another, surrounding and killing the two.
City Lord Han took a step forward, his surging fighting spirit erupting at that moment. Standing in front of Yu Changsheng, the large animal-hide bow in his hand burst forth with dazzling light. With a shimmering glow, the bow was drawn to its full extent, and a huge gray arrow was nocked, spreading an aura of destruction. The arrow pierced the air, leaving afterimages in its wake, and the space around it exploded with a deafening roar!
"Arrow of Destruction!"
"The Arrow of Determination!"
"Arrow of Annihilation!"
Arrows rained down like rain, unleashing overwhelming power. Wherever the arrows passed, screams and blood flowed simultaneously. All magical techniques crumbled under the arrows, leaving only agonizing cries echoing through the arena.
The ground turned red, and figures exploded, transforming into various Dao patterns that floated above the dragon, emitting a faint light. The aura of the primordial Dao patterns vibrated. City Lord Han went all out, and Yu Changsheng was not idle either.
"Fierce Inferno!"
"The vast ocean is boundless!"
"A dense forest!"
With a flick of his sleeve, sparks ignited, and malevolent flames engulfed the land. Countless vines were whipped out of thin air, sword light flashed and filled the void, and towering waves crushed everything!
Although his cultivation was sealed, Yu Changsheng, who had condensed four primordial Dao patterns, displayed remarkable power when he used these divine abilities again!
The supernatural powers and spells in this world are manifested by communicating with the power of heaven and earth through Dao patterns, rather than by the power of the caster himself.
As the ancestor of ordinary Dao patterns, the original Dao patterns generate more than ten times the power of heaven and earth compared to ordinary Dao patterns, making them even more terrifying. As a result, Yu Changsheng's combat power was in no way inferior to that of City Lord Han.
A sea of fire descended from the sky, a prison was created on the ground, the waves of the vast ocean transformed into towering waves, and the golden light in the sky turned into tangible sharpness! Countless arrows fell from the sky, striking the crowd, blood blooming like fireworks, and countless Dao patterns bursting out of their bodies.
The entire Killing Arena was a blood-red mess. It was true that they snatched food from the tiger's mouth, but the city lord Han and Yu Changsheng they attracted were not flies, but tigers as fierce as tigers!
"Roar! Ro ...
The Colorful Star Deer, the Crimson Purgatory Dragon, the Golden-Winged Roc, and the Black Tortoise were all released by Yu Changsheng. The slaughter began, and the absorption was also carried out simultaneously. The Dao patterns collapsed and turned into Daoist mist, which was frantically absorbed by the several beasts.
[Successfully fed a large amount of Daoist essence to the Crimson Hell Dragon, resulting in a comprehensive improvement for the Crimson Hell Dragon and the acquisition of 10000 essence points...]
[Successfully fed a large amount of Daoist essence to the Crimson-Golden-Winged Roc, resulting in a comprehensive improvement for the Roc and the acquisition of 10000 essence points...]
[Successfully fed a large amount of Daoist essence to the Star Deer, resulting in a comprehensive improvement for the Star Deer and the acquisition of 10000 essence points...]
Pleasant sounds rang out continuously, and his essence points surged wildly. At this moment, Yu Changsheng completely let go of his worries, and the City of Chaos trembled. (End of Chapter)
